over to nominal operations and began making our groundbreaking
science observations. Remarkably, the IBEX project was able to do
all this work including developing an entirely new launch
capability, building and ying a unique and highly specialized
spacecraft and instrument suite, and maintaining full funding for
our Education and Public Outreach and Phase E science activities,
while still under-running our original cost cap (as modi ed by
NASA-directed changes), by roughly three-quarters of a million
dollars. This book comprises a set of papers that describe the IBEX
science, instruments, and mission and put these in the context of
the existing knowledge of the interstellar interaction at the time
of the launch. The book sets the stage for research that will be
based on data from the IBEX mission. We sincerely hope that future
researchers, authors and students will use this information to help
in their studies. Chapter 1 [McComas et al. ] provides an overview
of the entire IBEX program including the IBEX science, hardware,
and mission. Chapter 2 describes the IBEX spacecraft and ight
system [Scherrer et al. ]. Chapters 3-4 provide the details of the
IBEX-Hi instrument [Funsten et al. ] and background monitor that is
built into it [Allegrini et al. ], while Chapters 5-7 describe the
IBEX-Lo instrument [Fuselier et al. ], how IBEX-Lo can measure the
interstellar neutrals directly entering the heliosphere [Moebius et
al.
